How to Make Your Skin Glow for a Wedding

A wedding is a happy event, whether you are the bride or a guest. For such a special occasion, you'll want to look your best --- from your hairstyle to your makeup to your complexion. To get that healthy glow, you need to take care of your skin on a regular basis. If you start to take a little better care of your skin a few days before the wedding, you have a much better chance of having dewy skin.

Things You'll Need

• Yogurt or buttermilk
• Dry oatmeal
• Lemon juice
• Moisturizer

Instructions

1. Wash your face with yogurt or buttermilk. Both contain lactic acid but are gentle to the skin because of their fat content. The lactic acid sloughs off the top layer of skin, allowing the skin to renew itself. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

2. Make an exfoliating scrub of 1 part dry oatmeal and 2 parts cool water. Apply the scrub with your fingers and massage all over the face; rinse off with lukewarm water. Exfoliation deep-cleans and removes more dead skin from the surface, while the scrub massages the skin and brings more blood to the surface for a naturally rosy look.

3. Apply lemon juice to the face with a cotton ball. The lemon juice acts like a toner, restoring the skin's pH balance and removing any traces of cleanser or scrub while cutting down on excess oil.

4. Apply a moisturizer. The oils in the moisturizer help the skin to hold on its water content for soft, supple skin.
